God sets the stage for Abraham ... great man of faith ...
Genesis 11 ... 27 Now these are the generations of Terah:Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29
And Abram and Nahor took them wives:the name of Abram's wife was Sarai;
and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father
of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son,
and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth
with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and
they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:and Terah died in Haran.
